Library thanks donors, reports strong summer attendance and Hoopla usage
Summary
Staff thanked local donors and partners, reported high summer-event attendance (100+ at Duchesne opener, ~150 at Roosevelt), and noted rising Hoopla spending and circulation; a $1,000 donation to the Roosevelt branch from a community donor was singled out.
Staff thanked community donors and partners — including All Red's Yard and Garden, Utah State University outreach, and the Utah Field House Museum — for supporting summer events and programs. Staff also highlighted strong attendance figures: about 130 participants in a gardening program, more than 100 at the Duchesne summer opener and roughly 150 at Roosevelt's event; one staff member said "we had 130 hundred and 30 people participate in that program" while describing turnout.
The board also noted a $1,000 donation at the Roosevelt Library from Stephen Cowling; staff said, "he donated 1000 dollars at Roosevelt Library about 2 weeks ago," and that his cumulative giving has placed him at a donor recognition level. Staff reported digital-collection trends as well, noting recent Hoopla expenditures (~$2,000 last month) and increasing Hoopla circulation.
